So glad for a sunny day, AND hitting the NOC. Mimosas are happening.

Hiked 12 miles before noon today to get into Erwin for resupply. Big Bald was pretty spectacular yesterday. ?

I just want to brag on Osprey, because they make AMAZING, high quality backpacks. This is an Aura 65L, and I absolutely love the design, the fit, and the feel of it. If you are considering a new pack, I recommend Osprey all the way!! #ospreypacks #mcafeeknob #appalachiantrail #sunlight #sunset #mountains #mountainsunset #hiking #hike #backpacking #sectionhike #camping #appalachiantrials #hikingtheat #roanokeva #catawba #virginia #naturelovers #explore #beadventurous #wanderlust #backpack #camp #blueridge #blueridgemountains #blueridgemoments #campinglife

The Appalachian Trail community lost a great one this week.. I had the pleasure of meeting Baltimore Jack a few times and this portrait was one of the first pictures I ever took on film. In 5 short minutes he blew my mind on how a hiker should resupply and I’m grateful for it. Thank you Baltimore Jack. #appalachiantrail #appalachiantrials #at2015 #k1000 #thruhike #thruhiker #backpacking #hiking
